drew Carnegie, expressing their opinions
without reserve upon the British home rule
question.
Mr.. M. b. Proband, member of Parlia-
ment for Glasgow. said; ''Home rule for
Ireland means much more than literally ap-
pears ON the surface. 1t means the same
thing for the United Kingdom. 1t means no
separate government for Ireland, no separa-
ton from the Kingdom Of Great Britain, but
only local self-rale With Home Rule ac-
complished, the first decisive step in national
reform will have been made"
Mr.. John Inglis said: 1T will come with
out resort to arms and without the necessity
of populor uprising or by overt acts. 1t
will merely be peaceful triumph of Demo-

Not So Pacific.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-A member Of the
deputatiOn of English visitors here says,
with reference to the report that O'Bren has
decided to resist to the death all efforts to treat
him as criminal, that it was understood be-
fore they left home that solemn agreement
to this effect had been entered upon by all
National Leaguers. 1t seems that during the
period Of former incarceration of some of the
Irish patriots the garb of criminals was put
upon them, and they were required to per-
form manual labor in accord with the prison
regulations. The understanding said to have
been arrived at is that no one of them who
may hereafter be sent to prison for political
offences will submit to the regulations for
criminals. These Irish leaders are determin-
ed. resolute men, and it is anticipated they
will be as good as their word and resist unto
death. They are openly defying the Crimes
act and continue to hold their meetings. In
all probability Mr.. O'Brien will soon have
plenty OF company in prison, and the author
tiles will then be confronted with question
whether to use brutal force in enforcing the
prison regulations or relax them to far as
political offenders are concerned. These
gentlemen, irrespective of their individual
political opinions, see tnat the situation at
home is very grave. It looks, in view of the
and its sympathizers are making to the exc
cution of the Crimes act, as if the govern
ment had but two alternatives, either to
abandon practically the attempt to enforce
the act or to resort to such violent and ex-
treme measures as may appeal to humanity
the world over. Naturally, therefore, the
visitors have anxiety to ascertain the pre-
vailing sentiment here, and on meeting our
public men the first interrogatories made are
as to how Irish affairs are regarded with us.
They have expressed astonishment and sur
prise that the Chicago Anarchists were not
hanged long since, and say that if they
should finally escape capital punishment 1t
would be held in Europe that there was no
stability in our institutions and free govern
ment was a failure.
